Hi everyone,

I’m looking specifically for experiences with prednisone in natural or IUI (non-IVF) cycles after ovulation or around/during conception and early pregnancy.

Would really appreciate if you could share:

- When did you start prednisone (before ovulation, after ovulation, or after a positive pregnancy test)?

- If you started prednisone after ovulation but before a positive test, did you notice any difference in implantation or pregnancy outcomes?

- Did your doctor explain the reasoning or significance behind the timing of starting prednisone?

- What dosage were you on and how was it tapered off? Did you notice any side effects?i

Also, if you’re comfortable sharing, did it lead to a successful pregnancy for you?

Thanks so much in advance—really appreciate any insights or experiences 🙏

Hi

I tested first bhcg 18 april 15.2

Today 20 april 58.5

Is this good rise ??

My lmp is on 19 march.

Please give some inputs how to stay calm and patient in this journey as i have had losses previously i really want to hold on to this one.

Any known specialist who also aware about endometriosis

I have had my first beta hcg yesterday with value 15 after which i am getting so many negative thoughts and what if this happens or not kind of feeling all through the day

How to stay calm and wait patiently in this situation

Please provide some input on this

If anyone been in similar situation

So I have been TTC from last one year...started proper tracking with opk etc from last 3 cycles. We have been married from last 4 years but we never thought of baby planning in initial years.. but now the pressure is real..people around us giving advices and even warnings about this.. and how much I say that I don't take stress but things have become a little mechanical..some of my friends who have conceived says that tracking ovulation etc is not useful just go with the flow don't think too much..! on the other hand feel that there's no harm in tracking things if we can..but please share your thoughts on this...is there anyone who actually conceived only after tracking ovulation and with proper planning because people around me always deny and make me feel like they got lucky just like that.

hi all! so firstly I would like to thank each and everyone in this group who supported me like a rock. we have been ttc since 2.5 years. for the first time ever I saw a positive UPT. it changed me so much! but again, I knew it’s not good to be over happy suddenly… we didn’t go over the moon.. and i started spotting.. after everything.. today we got a scan done and realised that there was no sac .. even though it was early.. and I started bleeding a lot.. and my beta hcg dropped.. hence it was a miss. But girls, thank you so so so much! You guys helped me so much and from all this .. the most positive thing I took away is.. I can naturally get pregnant! ♥️ it itself is an achievement… anyone who had chemical or an early loss and conceived eventually naturally? I am told to skip this current cycle..

Today marks one year since i lost my baby at 20 weeks gestation due to pprom. I thought i would feel better as so much time has passed but this last week has been the toughest for me in the longest time. And now I know the grief stays. No matter how far we go, maybe the memory fades, but the feeling, the hollowness we have felt, the sense of falling into a pit, stays like a muscle memory. Like a bad dream whose details we forget but the eeriness lingers, making us uncomfortable as soon as we think about it.

Recently i read a quote and I totally agree with that “Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

I am not even ready to conceive again because of the thought of ‘ what of it happens again?’ I don’t know what to do next.

Maybe there isn’t a “next” , and maybe it’s okay to just sit with this love and this loss for as long as it needs. For now, I am just learning how to carry both the grief and the love together.

I don’t know!

Hi

I have skipped my period my lmp was on 19 march , today i got faint line on UPT and checked for bhcg it was 15

Is it very low for day 30 ?

Please share if anyone also had this similar situation??

Hi everyone! I’m currently TTC and wanted to understand what supplements and vitamins doctors usually prescribe during pregnancy.

My LMP was 17 March. I tested on April 13, 14, 16. My age is 36. First time positive test. All tests are very positive. But I’m feeling very anxious about how it’ll go..reading about people’s experiences make me worried about CP, MC etc..

My gynaecologist has scheduled my first scan on 5th May after the end of 7th week

It’s just 4.5mm on cycle day 11.

What to do?

hi all! so as I have been sharing all my story of ttc.. just a gist here: ttc since 2.5 years, lmp 12 March. 1st beta on 10th April was 15. 2nd beta on 12th April was 42. and I started bleeding immediately. I thought it was a miscarriage. but my doctor gave me some meds and injections and told me to go in bed rest. one injection was for progesterone and other was hcg. I did so a kept resting . my cramps were bad! and I mean bad! 13th April I was better with almost no bleeding but cramps were there. 14th April I woke up and wiped myself and saw brownish blood. and it happened 3 times. and my cramps were bad till the afternoon. then suddenly around evening I started feeling better. slept away. 15th April morning I woke up and wiped myself coz felt wet and period type pain .. and there was reddish + brownish blood. I thought that’s it. it’s all over now. I called up my doctor.. she said repeatedly this is happening and it’s not a very good sign. but my cramps reduced by 90%! so there was a spot or two on the pad and then again blood only came when I wiped myself. peak anxiety! I know people might think I am over reacting and this and that but trust me… someone who never ever saw a positive pregnancy test.. when has to go through something so uncertain… it’s very difficult.

now tomorrow we will be doing hcg test again. if the no. has increased a lot then that’s a good sign. If not then we wait and see again after 48 hours. Since my hcg injection could affect it. But also, we just want to see an increasing trend. Now tom I am also getting a scan done. Tom will be day 1 of week 5. Don’t know if we can see anything or not but atleast ectopic/ not ectopic can be answered .. I am hoping it’s a normal pregnancy … I know the good thing out of all this is .. I know I can naturally conceive. But the anxiety is next level. I hope I don’t cry in front of the doctor who will do the scan.. hehe God Bless us all 🙏🏻 btw cramps aren’t there anymore… may be 5-10% but blood only when I wipe or when I pee. Not there on pad or panty. Wish me luck girls …

Please share any tips, may be weird, but might have helped!

There are theories about Pineapple supporting implantation - how true is that? What is the right time to start consuming pineapple and how much?
